Graham, appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, was asked about Carson’s strong showing in the polls by Eugene Robinson, one of the show’s co-hosts.

Graham responded that Carson doesn’t have a “clue about what’s going on in the Middle East.” His exact comments were:

He’s a lovely man. He’s a great doctor, and everybody else thinks we suck. That’s all I know what to tell you. I can’t understand what he’s saying half the time. He’s a brilliant guy but I don’t think he has a clue about what’s going on in the Middle East. So what can I say? I don’t know. I’m just doing the best I can. I’m going to do well in New Hampshire.

Meanwhile, Graham has polled at a whopping one percent in New Hampshire.
